Hello,
where could a bloody beginner find further info on sending data from a csv-file to a webpage and retrieve the upcoming data? Means do automatic research of prices?
Really big thanks,
George
Send plenty data from a csv-file to a web page

The help file!
CSV files are plain text, and you can read any specific line with "ReadLn". (There's a nice looping example in the help file).
You can use the "Seperate" command (again, example in the help file) to split each comma-seperated field in to individual variables.
As for submitting the info to the web page, that depends on what it expects. If you can put the info in the URL, that's a very convenient way and can be done with "HTTPRequest".
If you have to manually navigate in to a web page form, there is a nice VBScript method in these forums to submit values to fields, but requires a fancier routine in your script.
For many problems, Macro Scheduler often provides multiple ways to arrive at a solution. Check out the above commands in the help file and if you need help with loops or variables, just mention it (but be specific) - other people here will help you too.
